Amazon's low-cost smart home brand Blink is adding AI-generated video instructions as a new benefit for subscribers. Blink Video description is a textual description of motion captured by your doorbell and camera and will be available in beta starting December 8th.
Similar to Ring Video description, a feature offered by Amazon's other smart home brands, Blink's AI-generated descriptions are supposed to be a concise way to see what's going on in and around your home. All kinds of motion generates video clips and notifications in the Blink app, but video descriptions can help you sort through which ones are worth watching and which ones are worth worrying about.
According to Blink, Video description will be supported on all existing Blink doorbells and cameras if you're a Blink subscriber and pay at least $4 a month or $40 a year. That means if you get one of the new Blink 2K+, Blink Outdoor 2K+, or Blink Arc cameras, you can take advantage of its features.
A beta version of Blink Video description began rolling out to subscribers today, though not in Illinois, likely due to the state's biometric privacy laws.
Correction, December 8, 2025, 12:03 PM ET: This article originally incorrectly listed the beta availability date as mid-November.
